An EPTF spokesperson indicated they are properly staffed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated this is changing the screening requirements, and asked if Staff is okay <br />with that change. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated they agreed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated he is impressed with the work done by the EPTF. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked if he was correct in believing the city did not now have a tree <br />preservation ordinance. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated that was correct. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked if a plan would need to be submitted prior to land alteration. <br /> <br />The EPTF spokesperson indicated this only applies to development, not individual land owners. <br />He noted at the point the land is turned over to an individual owner the ordinance no longer <br />applies. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated that if read literally, this does not say individual landowners are <br />exempt. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated that could be corrected by changing 9.24.04, Subd. 1. to say 'Prior to <br />any development, land clearing, filling, or any other land alteration described in Subd. 2, a tree <br />preservation plan shall be submitted to and approved by the City'. <br /> <br />The EPTF spokesperson indicated this dovetails into the Chapter 9 amendments they will be <br />seeing this fall. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to close the public hearing at <br />8:17 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
